Good Articles = Viral Marketing
Most online gurus know that publishing articles is an effective way to:
- Get the word out about a product or service that you are promoting
- Get future customers to trust you
- Create content that is unique and will attract search engines.
If you are planning to set aside time to write articles then you may as well provide good quality information that is unique.
It may take slightly more effort but the return on investment can be increased by article rewriting (discussed later) to get the most out of this once-off investment per article.
There should be no excuse for writing low quality articles because this will turn out to be much more time intensive than simply writing some good articles combined with the practice of article rewriting.
With a few good articles you will do much better because others will adopt your quality article and place it on their websites. This is highly effective viral marketing with the potential to lead to a substantial increase in traffic and exposure.
Article Rewriting
Article Rewriting entails taking one (good) article and authoring many unique variants, sometimes just by making use of synonyms. The purpose of article rewriting is to create several unique instances of the article which will all get indexed by the search engines. It should avoid the search engines from handling the other variants as duplicates and thereby watering down the effectiveness of posting your article to numerous blogs or directories.
The benefits to article rewriting are:
1) Reduce the work per unique article
2) More time available to author quality distinct content.
3) Optimize the exposure of your initial article.
4) Better quality articles increases the viral effect of your articles.
To re-iterate, submitting articles to various blogs or ezine sites can be way more effective if all of those articles are unique. Also, website or blog owners will be much more motivated to distribute your article if there is an increased likelihood that it will provide their websites with quality, unique content.
Article Rewriting with Software
Software can help you with article rewriting. However, I would definitely suggest not using fully automatic software for article rewriting. Article rewriting with different wording that still makes sense requires human intelligence. You will not find any fully automated software for article rewriting that will not make it very obvious that is imperfect in this area.
You will make a smart choice by investing just a little more time by adding your human intellect to aid in the process of article rewriting. This will help you to get the most value from the articles which you have spent your valuable time in creating. This will pay off well in terms of creating good quality articles that are both unique and deserving of recognition.
The right software for article rewriting will allow you to manually specify synonyms or allow you to manually specify alternative texts for sections of your articles. Based on these selections the software for article rewriting will then automatically generate unique articles by selecting synonyms and alternative wording from the selections that you have provided.
How To Get Started with Article Rewriting - An Example
The software used for article rewriting does not need to be complex, in fact simpler is better. The article you are reading right now is what I am calling a "smart" or "morphing" article. Although it was generated semi-randomly it is still readible and if I did my job properly you would not even have noticed. The text used to generate this article contains special markup to include a list of alternatives: e.g. "The {answer|solution} for this is to use software for article rewriting".
The software for article rewriting which was used to generate this article is the WP Chameleon WordPress plug-in. The plug-in has rewritten this article on-the-fly by employing the process just described. To inspect other versions of this article add "?1", "?2", etc. to the url of this page. To inspect the text of this article, including the markup, add "?mode=raw" to this page's url.
A unique article is valuable content for your website and search engines,most importantly Google, will love it.
